The Art of the GIF

For this project students will introduce themselves by participating in the creation of a collective GIF “Class Portrait”. A GIF (graphics interchange format) is a graphic image on a Web page that moves. After exploring a range of GIF artists and GIF galleries and taking part in GIF making tutorials in Photoshop, students will explore what their own animated GIF "self-portrait" could be.  Each student will create 3 GIFs using different techniques, post them onto their website and then choose one to be published on the class website. Each GIF will also act as a link to the student's website. The dimensions of this composition will be 500 x 500 x 72dpi.
